URB~ PLANNII~G DISTRICT STUDY REPORT, 1976 <br /> <br />The Urban Planning District Study Report focused on the <br />southeastern part of Ramsey and was prepared during a period of <br />dramatic change in the City of Ramsey. Ramsey incorporated as a <br />city in November, 1974. The CAB interceptor study had been <br />completed and it appears that the private development community <br />had started to recognize the strategic location of Ramsey within <br />the metropolitan area. The City of Ramsey also experienced <br />significant population growth during the early 1970's. It was <br />during this time also that parts of Ramsey were traded for parts <br />of the City of Anoka, and the eastern boundary of the Ramsey was <br />realigned to coincide with the Rum River. <br /> <br />Identified Issues <br /> <br />Significant change in the birth rate and resulting need for <br />housing and schools; <br /> <br />Development of a regional policy designed to limit and <br />carefully direct development on the fringes of the <br />metropolitan area, primarily through the mechanism of sewer <br />staging; <br /> <br />3. Major changes in the economics of housing; <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Changes in boundaries due to incorporation and annexation <br />decisions; <br /> <br />5. Changes in transportation plans; and, <br /> <br />Pressure for commercial development and the City not having <br />planned for such development. <br /> <br />Goals and Policies <br /> <br />Expansion of employment opportunities for all ages and skill <br />levels.
